Make sure the connection is tight and there is no leaking.
Lead the water hose to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility, the drainage facility should be lower than the drain outlet of the dehumidifier.
Be sure to run the water hose sloping downward to let the water flow out smoothly.
When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the drain hose from the outlet.
